It's gates ensure only worthy enter,
It's walls shield the women from worldly view,
To get within the walls of the cloister
Is to enter heaven's sacred purview.
Her habit, her veil and her covenant
Are shield to eyes of immorality;
In her walk she's constantly vigilant
To protect her gift of virginity.
My girl's jammies serve the same purpose as
The nun's layers of divine protection,
Impervious, hermetic, featureless,
To entice, tempt is not her intention.
But to enter in her cloth cloister walls
Is sacred ground of heaven's hallowed halls.
